Hi, Between Time Machine and iCloud services, you can essentially have a local and off-site backup solution. With iCloud in Sierra, your documents, Desktop and other application data is stored locally and off-site. With iCloud Music Library and iCloud Photo Library, all your music and photo media is stored both locally and off-site. All your apps you've purchased from the AppStore as well as the apps you've purchased elsewhere are, for the most part, re-downloadable from the Net or the AppStore itself. So, essentially, You could re-installed your MacOS from the Recovery Partition, get all your data and media from iCloud, and re-download your apps without any third party solution. The only things you'd be missing in this case is, possibly, your specific network settings and other preferences.
Now, CCC and SuperDuper are both excellent cloning and backup solutions. They are local solutions though unless you take your external drive off-site after each backup. There are other off-site solutions that I've used like Carbonite, but I found there limitations from the Mac side frustrating and thus have stopped the service for me. Later...

I believe if something is not offsite, it's not backed up, in other words a drive in your house with a Time Machine backup on it isn't really a proper back up. I haven't personally use carbon copy cloner, but from what I always hear it's definitely worth the money, and very good especially to make clones of entire drives Sent from my iPhone > On 31 Jan 2017, at 02:31, maurice.mines <maurice.mi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Good evening everyone, I have an interesting, and perplexing problem.
